We’re Here To Help You Find Higher Rates of Return

Helping you plan for a better future is what we do best. And with our share certificates and Individual Retirement Accounts – you can be sure that you’re getting the most out of your investment.

Share Certificates (CDs)

Share certificates can offer a high yield on deposits at CME. They’re a safe and surprisingly versatile addition to any savings program.

  • Terms ranging from 3 to 84 months

  • Open with just $500 ($250 for youth accounts)

  • Add to your certificate (see below) without extending maturity

  • The more you save, the more you earn with our tiered rates

  • Penalties assessed for withdrawals prior to maturity

ADD TO YOUR CERTIFICATE

  • You can add to your CME certificate anytime you want while maintaining the term

  • With payroll deduction and direct deposit, you can add $50 or more to your certificate

  • Using cash or check, you can add $250 or more

BUMP-UP CERTIFICATES

  • Lock into a higher return if rates increase

  • On the 18-month Bump-Up Certificate, you can adjust the rate once during the term

  • On the 30-month Bump-Up Certificate, you can adjust the rate twice during the term

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

Saving for retirement can seem daunting. But at CME, we have options to help make it easier. Whether you’re saving for a comfortable retirement, CME offers a full range of insured IRA products to help you prepare for a bright future.

IRA SHARE CERTIFICATE

  • Open with just $500, and enjoy the benefits of the higher earning potential of a certificate

  • Terms from 3 to 84 months

  • Add to your certificate at any time - $250 minimum by cash or check

  • Bump-Up Certificates available, which allow you to lock in at a higher rate once during an 18-month certificate or twice during a 30-month certificate

  • To get started, please call or stop by a branch

TRADITIONAL IRA

  • Not pay any taxes on these contributions or their earnings until you withdraw them at retirement. This is a good deal because most people are in a lower tax bracket at retirement time than when they’re working.

  • Make your deductible contributions as late as April 15 of the following year! So, if you didn’t get started before the end of the year, you have some extra time.

Please consult your tax adviser to make sure you are eligible.

ROTH IRA

  • No current-year tax deduction for contributions

  • Your savings grow tax-free, which means there are no taxes due on withdrawals at retirement

Income restrictions apply, so check with your tax adviser or financial planner to see if a Roth IRA is right for you.

Insured Savings

All CME savings accounts and certificates are insured up to a combined total of $500,000. The National Credit Union Administration provides $250,000 of federal coverage on basic accounts as well as retirement accounts. The additional $250,000 coverage is provided by Excess Share Insurance, a private share insurer.
